Chelsea boss Antonio Conte insists that he is 'not worried' about a potential ban for Diego Costa ahead of next weekend's clash with Manchester United.

Chelsea boss Antonio Conte has insisted that he is 'not worried' about a potential ban for Diego Costa.

The Spain international, who has already scored six Premier League goals this season, is currently on four yellow cards and another against Leicester City on Saturday would see him miss next weekend's clash with Manchester United.

Conte 'hopes' that Costa will be able to avoid another booking against the Foxes, but will not tell the striker to change his aggressive style on the field.

"We know this situation, Diego knows this situation. But this situation was before with the Hull City game. I think that we must look to the present and not about the other [possibilities]," Conte told reporters.

"Diego knows very well the situation, but he must fight the same way like in the previous games. But I hope that his passion means that he doesn't take another yellow card."

Chelsea will enter Saturday's clash with Leicester in seventh position in the Premier League table.
